The surname Forrest has a rich history, particularly among those of Irish descent. It is derived from the Old French word "forest," meaning "woodland" or "forest." The name was likely originally used to describe someone who lived near or worked in a forested area.

In Ireland, the Forrest surname is often associated with the Gaelic name Ó Fuaraisceart, meaning "descendant of Fuaraisceart." The Ó Fuaraisceart sept originated in County Donegal in the far northwest of Ireland. They were a branch of the Cenél Conaill dynasty, which claimed descent from Conall Gulban, a legendary figure in Irish mythology.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, many Irish people with the surname Forrest emigrated to other parts of the world, particularly to North America. They brought their surname with them, contributing to the spread of the name outside of Ireland. Today, individuals with the surname Forrest can be found in various countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Over time, variations of the surname Forrest have also emerged, including Forrest, Forrist, and Forst. These variations reflect the different spellings and pronunciations that developed as the name was passed down through generations and across different countries.
